In the investigation of six patients with giant cell arteritis and abnormal liver function radionuclide liver scans were found to be abnormal in all. The abnormality may be due to arteritis of hepatic vessels. It is important to recognise that giant cell arteritis may cause liver scan abnormalities. If other pathology is suspected and corticosteroid treatment delayed while further investigations are carried out, patients are at risk of complications such as blindness.
在对6例巨细胞动脉炎伴肝功能异常患者的调查中,发现所有患者的放射性核素肝扫描均异常。这种异常可能是由于肝血管的动脉炎所致。认识到巨细胞动脉炎可能导致肝扫描异常很重要。如果怀疑有其他病理情况而在进行进一步检查时延迟使用皮质类固醇治疗,患者就有发生失明等并发症的风险。
